No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
So when I opened my business account with Chase back in 2022 the banker showed I had pre approval for all business/personal account. At that particular time I didn't have a need for either. But, as of recently I was ready to research a business card. And today I went into my branch and spoke with my banker and again she advised that I again was showing pre approval for all business/personal cards. So I went ahead and applied for the Ink Business Cash card.
To her dismay after getting off the phone with their CSC she said it's under review. Well that wasn't good enough for me. And I called when arriving back at my home. And there was some questions they needed to ask and verify. Upon completion the agent came back on the phone and said congratulations you're approved for 5k.
Not happy with that amount of SCL I inquired about a CLI. After entering in the information she came back with I'm sorry sir we couldn't approve you for any more credit at this time.
So in closing I guess that the credit line now shall be sufficient. I will however be checking for a CLI in the future. Is there a time frame I should adhere to in achieving said CLI? I appreciate any and all recommendations you awesome MyFICO champs have!!
My experience with them has been that I was approved for the Ink Unlimited with a $8k SL, and the Ink Cash with a $4k SL (35 days apart)... Over the course of the following 18 months they grew to where they are now (hover over cards in siggy). All by way of auto CLIs that came consistently about every 4 months.
I put heavy spend on them and PIF after the statement cut. For most people the time line for requests is typically every 6 months, but have seen some with strong profiles get them at 4 months. I'm a firm believer that if you show them good usage/spend consistently, they have no issues being generous in return. Congratulations on your approval!
@JoeRockhead thank you very much for the intel. That is going to be my standard to pay everything off at end of statement. That's what I've been doing anyhow. Again appreciate your information. Have a great weekend.

congrats on the ink approval, great sub!!
inks are typically low CL cards to start, they'll need some time if you want to build their CL up, but if you do plan on heavy spend on them, they'll grow just like ^^^







































@GZG thanks a lot. Yeah Chase is the elusive beast I've never caught up until this point. So great data points. Have a great rest of your weekend.
Congratulations on your approval!

@Jordan23ww thanks very much. Have a great week coming up. 👍
Not sure it's visible for you yet...but you will see the "Credit Limit Increase" under "more services" for your account and they'll do a SP CLI if your account is deemed eligible.
Congratulations on your Approval!!👏🏼🍾🥂
@cashorcharge yeah the CLI button is there. I already asked them to reconsider me for a higher limit. It came back as denied for the time being. It will work for now. I'm in the slow season now anyways. But thanks for the intel. Have a great week.
If you click the button and your ineligible, it will state and suggest you update your income. If it allows you to proceed (in the future) then it's worth a shot when the time comes
